Overview
A 3rd-generation stainless steel fishing plier that works as a hook remover, braided line cutter and fish gripper in one tool. Made from 3CR13 stainless steel with a spring-loaded jaw and flip lock, it comes with a lanyard to clip to your body.
The jaws are sized for split rings from size 1 to 5, 0.14 to 0.22 in inner diameter, and small to medium hooks, so this is a general-purpose tool rather than one built for oversized saltwater hardware. Reviewers who fish heavier braid found the line cutter is the part that shows the limits of a budget-tier plier.
- 3CR13 stainless steel construction
- Hook remover, line cutter and gripper combined
- Fits split rings size 1-5, 0.14-0.22 in inner diameter
- Includes lanyard and flip lock
Who it's for
Anglers who need one compact tool for unhooking, line cutting and split-ring work on typical freshwater or light saltwater tackle. Less suited to anyone routinely cutting heavy braided line, where the cutting edge wears faster.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers call it good value for the price and reliable for removing hooks and crimping weights, with several saying it does exactly what's advertised. The recurring complaint is the line cutter on braided line: two reviewers separately said it does not cut 20 lb braid cleanly, leaving a frayed edge, and one reviewer felt the handle shape was awkward. A single reviewer reported the lanyard ring didn't fit the handle at all.
